What is a fraction?

A fraction is a numerical quantity that represents a part of a whole, indicated by a numerator (top number) and a denominator (bottom number) separated by a line. It shows the relationship between a part and the whole, where the numerator represents the part being considered and the denominator represents the total number of parts in the whole.

How do you read and write a fraction?

To read a fraction, say the top number (numerator) first and then say the bottom number (denominator) as an ordinal number (e.g., 1/2 is read as "one half"). To write a fraction, place the numerator on top of the denominator with a line in between (e.g., 3/4). Make sure the numerator indicates the number of parts being considered and the denominator indicates the total number of parts the whole is divided into.

How do you find the numerator and denominator of a fraction?

To find the numerator and denominator of a fraction, you look at the number above the fraction bar for the numerator, which represents the part of the whole, and the number below the fraction bar for the denominator, which indicates the total number of parts the whole is divided into.

How do you simplify a fraction?

To simplify a fraction, you need to divide both the numerator (the top number) and the denominator (the bottom number) by their greatest common factor. This will reduce the fraction to its simplest form. Keep dividing until there are no common factors left, and you have reduced the fraction as much as possible.

How do you compare fractions using >, <, or =?

To compare fractions, you can cross-multiply by multiplying the numerator of one fraction by the denominator of the other fraction and vice versa. Then, compare the cross-products to determine which fraction is larger. If the cross-product of the first fraction is greater, then the fraction is larger; if they are equal, the fractions are equal; and if the cross-product of the second fraction is greater, then the fraction is smaller. For example, to compare 2/3 and 3/4, cross-multiply 2 * 4 and compare it with 3 * 3 to see that 8 is less than 9, hence 2/3 is less than 3/4.

How do you add and subtract fractions with like denominators?

To add or subtract fractions with like denominators, simply add or subtract the numerators while keeping the denominators the same. For addition, add the numerators together and keep the denominator as is. For subtraction, subtract the numerators and keep the denominator the same. Reduce the fraction if necessary by simplifying it to its lowest terms.

How do you add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators?

To add or subtract fractions with unlike denominators, first find a common denominator by finding the least common multiple of the denominators. Then, rewrite each fraction using the common denominator and perform the operation as usual. Add or subtract the numerators while keeping the common denominator the same. Finally, simplify the resulting fraction, if necessary, to get the final answer.

How do you multiply fractions?

To multiply fractions, simply multiply the numerators together to get the new numerator and multiply the denominators together to get the new denominator. This will give you the product of the two fractions in its simplest form. Remember to simplify your answer by reducing the fraction if necessary.

How do you divide fractions?

To divide fractions, you simply multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. This means you flip the second fraction (invert it) and then multiply the fractions together. The resulting product is your answer.

How do you convert fractions to decimals?

To convert a fraction to a decimal, you divide the numerator (top number) by the denominator (bottom number). The result is the decimal equivalent of the fraction. You can do this division using long division or a calculator if needed.
